H2Viva Hydrogen Water Tablets

Description

New research and many new scientific tests are showing amazing benefits to dissolved hydrogen (H2) recently. In fact, all the benefits from consuming the water produced from an ionizer in the Alkaline stream prove to come from H2 alone and not the higher pH, mineralization, restructuring of the water molecule or any of the other claims made in the past concerning why ionized alkaline water is good for you.

Antioxidants are a hot item in the health and supplement worlds. You don’t have to look very hard to find numerous claims about the antioxidant properties of various foods and supplements. It is not surprising that the new websites selling H₂ products are popping up online touting the antioxidant properties of H₂.

We decided to investigate the topic of H₂ as an antioxidant because the information online lacked depth and there are some pretty bold claims being made.

After a lot of digging through related scientific journals found on the MHF website (www.molecularhydrogenfoundation.com), we found lots of relevant information. The difficult part for us was converting the scientific findings into words that you could read without getting a headache, plus there is so much information there. We reached out to Tyler, Lebaron, the founder and executive director of the science-based nonprofit and asked for his help. Tyler graciously provided the following summary of the unique attributes of H₂:

Unlike conventional antioxidants: Hydrogen is able to reduce oxidative stress via potential cell modulating activity (e.g. prevent excessive radical formation, increase glutathione levels, etc.)

No harmful byproducts: after other antioxidants neutralize free radicals and achieve their goal, they effectively become oxidants themselves, which must be neutralized or removed. When H2 neutralizes harmful hydroxyl radicals, the byproduct is water which is beneficial to the body and doesn’t require removal.

Selectivity: H₂ acts as a selective antioxidant meaning it will only neutralize the most cytotoxic (cell damaging) free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (*OH). H₂ will not react with beneficial signaling oxidants like hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, superoxide etc which are required for cellular immunity, blood perfusion (vasodilation – can we say erections?) and various cell signaling processes

Bioavailability: In order for antioxidants to be useful, they need to reach cellular locations that are being damaged by toxic radicals. Most radicals are formed inside the mitochondria, which is difficult for conventional antioxidants to reach.

• The main factors in determining bioavailability are the size (the smaller the
  better and the charge/polarity (non-polar and neutral molecules can enter cells
  most easily.
• Hydrogen gas is the smallest and lightest molecule consisting of only two
  protons and two electrons. H₂ weighs 88 times less than Vitamin C which is the
  most popular antioxidant and 431 times less than Coenzyme Q10 which is
  another popular antioxidant.

H₂ is also neutral and non-polar, allowing it to easily pass through the cell
membranes and subcellular compartments (mitochondria). H₂ has the highest
diffusion rate of all gasses allowing it to rapidly permeate cells.

Directions for Use:

Place One (1) tablet in 16 oz bottle of water or your favorite non-carbonated beverage and cap tightly. Wait 15-20 minutes before consuming. Recommended to take 1 tablet twice a day.
